I'm please to announce the 2.0 final release of Mailman, the GNU Mailing List Manager. Mailman is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Mailman is software to help manage electronic mail discussion lists, much like Majordomo or Smartmail. Mailman gives each mailing list a unique web page and allows users to subscribe, unsubscribe, and change their account options over the web. Even the list manager can administer his or her list entirely via the web. Mailman has most of the features that people want in a mailing list management system, including built-in archiving, mail-to-news gateways, spam filters, bounce detection, digest delivery, and so on.
Mailman is compatible with most web servers, web browsers, and mail servers. It should run on any Unix-like operating system. Mailman requires Python 1.5.2 or better. To install Mailman from source, you will need a C compiler.
For more information on Mailman, please see the following mirrors:
http://www.list.org
http://mailman.sourceforge.net
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman.html
(the latter is not yet up to date)
There are email lists (managed by Mailman, of course!) for both Mailman users and developers. See the web sites above for details.
My thanks to everybody who has helped with this release, especially those named in the ACKNOWLEDGMENTS file. My thanks also to the SourceForge crew for their open source project management site. Couldn't have done it without them.
Enjoy, -Barry

Sorry, sorry, sorry!
My reply was just accidentially send. I was testing my mail filter for masking the From: address. It just slipped accidentially into the send queue. So my mail was not an expression of my opinion about Mailman.
Will not happen again.
Cheers, Carsten

I just installed 2.0 final over 2.0beta2, and all went well, except it generates broken URL paths (missing / between mailman/admin). The following snippet is from the owner notification message for a new list, and all the paths are broken (ie. mailmanlistinfo instead of mailman/listinfo) in the message, and in the headers...
You can configure your mailing list at the following web page:

Does anyone have a quick pointer where to fix this in the source? I'll look for it myself, but a pointer would still help... (Btw, Please Cc me, as I am not on this developers list.) Thanks, -jeb

Hi Jeb, I got around this by adding a slash at the end of url below in $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://www.earlham.edu/mailman/'
that fixed the problem.
